Times Higher Education is set to launch the world’s first university impact ranking. The initiative – the first global attempt to document evidence of higher education impact – is designed to capture unique new insights on universities’ work towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

This work has never been fully explored in the past, and has never been recognised in global rankings.
